A STATEWIDE search is underway for a NSW Police employee for allegedly taking weaponry from a police armoury and other serious firearms offences.
Alan James Cumberland, 38, is an armourer with the NSW Police Force. He is being sought following a search of his home in the Tuggerah Lakes area yesterday afternoon.
At the property, police located large numbers of firearms, some suspected of being misappropriated, as well as firearms parts, ammunition of various calibres, machining equipment and prohibited weapons.
"He's been misappropriating weapons and weapons parts from the facility," a police spokesperson told AAP.
The search warrant, which is ongoing, was one of four conducted by the Firearms and Organised Crime Squad yesterday as part of an investigation into organised crime.
A machine gun, ammunition and cash were seized at a property at Bonnells Bay, and a silencer was located at a property at Lalor Park. Two men have already been charged in relation to those seizures.
Police are asking for anyone with information about Mr Cumberland’s whereabouts to contact them. They believe Mr Cumberland might have access to firearms – a registered rifle and rifle receiver remain unaccounted for.
